    Thanks for all your help. What are the consequences of leaving my alk at 240. As I understand it, it will help my pH stay steady but there must be other issues. I'm new to this pool stuff but this site is a great way to learn and all of you are great help and I appreciate all your input.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    PS my numbers as of today
    fc 3.5
    cc 0
    tc 3.5
    alk 240
    cal 170
    cya 30
    ph 7.5
    temp 64
    water only slightly cloudy but I can easily see the bottom and pattern on the liner of my 30' round AG
